My favorite ping tool is fping, mainly because I can do bash expansion with it eg `fping mail{1..10}` .. very useful and saves me from doing a "for i" one-liner.

This idea is also very useful for host/dig DNS queries which I would also often previously do a one-liner for, but recently had a gpt script me a tool for it:
